Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on H.R. 6230: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the Iranian people and institutions named in it, because they could face closer review for terrorism or sanctions penalties. It also directly affects the State Department and Treasury Department, which would have to do repeated reviews and report to Congress on a fixed schedule. Congress would get more oversight over these decisions. U.S. banks and others that follow sanctions rules could also be affected later if any new designations are made under existing law.

Why this matters: This matters because it could make it more likely that certain Iranian figures or institutions face U.S. sanctions if officials decide they meet existing legal standards. The bill does that by forcing repeated reviews instead of leaving the issue to occasional executive branch action. That could affect money flows, assets under U.S. control, and international business tied to the named people or groups. It also gives Congress a steady way to watch how the executive branch handles Iran-related terrorism and sanctions tools.

Key provisions in H.R. 6230

  • The bill makes the Secretary of State review a named list of people and groups tied to Iran. The Secretary of the Treasury must agree with those reviews.
  • Congress must get the first report within 90 days after the bill becomes law.
  • Congress must then get new reports every 180 days for up to 6 years.
  • The review can use several existing laws and orders. These include Executive Order 13224 on terrorism, Foreign Terrorist Organization rules, Global Magnitsky human rights sanctions, and several Iran sanctions orders.
  • The list reaches beyond a few people. It includes top Iranian clerics, religious schools like the Qom Seminary and the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom, Iran's state broadcaster IRIB, and major state bodies like the Assembly of Experts, Expediency Council, and Guardian Council.
